Guanacaste Costa Rica Fishing
The gulf of Papagayo in Costa Rica has some of the best Inshore Fishing in the world and especially for the famous roosterfish - rooster or rooster fish, doesn't matter how you call it; however, of course we fish for other species such as: dorado, tuna, cubera snapper and seasonal grouper and read snapper.
We are the Mendez family who own Papagayo Sportfishing and we and our cousins are the crew for our boats. We born here and have been fishing since we were 5 years old. We know this water and know the sportfishing business. Firstly we were working as commercial fishermen and later became fishermen due the arrival of tourism to our region.

Guanacaste Fishing Reports
- Steve Saunders and 3 more friends from the Riu Guanacaste were fishing for a full day aboard the MONO boat and Arnaldo Mendez captain. They did deep sea fishing in the morning and released a sail; later, came to the shore and released two roosterfish and other bunch of inshore fishes. As you can see in the pics below, seas conditions are perfect to be fishing, no matter where offshore or inshore!!!!
- Also, this day, Gimbo, the Albacoras captain took a couple from the Riu Guanacaste deep sea fishing. They fished offshore all day long and released 3 sailfish.
- Fishing out of Coco beach, Brian Steven and two more friends went inshore fishing for a full day. They had a nice day and released 5 very good sized roosterfish.
Fishing out of Occidental Grand Papagayo on October 19th
After a little more than a week of bad seas conditions we had the first inshore charter on Wednesday, October 19th. Jose Mendez, the Bahamas boat captain took Ric Cheryl and his son inshore rooster fishing for a full day. Seas conditions were pretty good and rooster bitting too, they released two good sized roosterfish show in the pics below.
Fishing out of Hilton Papagayo
As you can see in the pics below, seas conditions are really really good here in Papagayo/Guanacaste region. A few rains sometimes in the afternoon/night and no wind at all makes seas conditions special for both: inshore and offshore charters.
- A couple from the Hilton Papagayo was inshroe fishing aboard Albatres boat and Jose Mendez captain. They released a nice roosterfish and caught one yellowfin tuna.
